In a medium size club who actually cares if the track that sounds is yours? Unless you do the trick of picking the micro and saying "hello guyz, what's up? This is my brand new track, make some noise!!" or any other mc cookie cutter sentence , and honestly your track is probably worse than the other stuff you've played, what i see as an option is being a die hard producer and announce yourself as a live act so people come to see you specifically.
I am a producer and never got a gig thanks to this, i am not that good but anyways i don't see it happening in the future |
Luck is something that has got a lot to do with it. Fedde Le Grand was quite a good dj (and producer), but his career really boosted after 'Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit' got picked up by a lot of big-name dj's.
It's not necessarily the tracks that make you famous, it's about other dj's playing your track and hyping your name.
But you have a valid point: producing may help 'enlarge' your name, but it most likely won't create one, unless you already are somewhat known in the scene.
